Margaritaville in NO

[waterbound]

We decided last night that we are going to Margaritaville in NO when we get there the day before cruising to start our trip off right and get in the mood.. Is it located near French Qtr? I do have the address which is on Decatur Street and just wondered in what vacinity is that if anyone knows?

Margaritaville is located near the entrance to the French Market. Walk down Decatur past Cafe du Monde and past the row of shops and you will run into it. Don't miss the bar in back of the restaurant.

It is about 10 blocks down from Canal, you can also take the streetcar. It is an OK place- but there are far better local options in my opinion, nothing special about the food. Print out the drink coupons in the Good times guide.

Margaritaville is ok, but if you're looking for a 'real N.O. type restaurant/bar', this isn't it.

It's in the French Quarter. As good a place to start as any. An assortment of margaritas, obviously.

 

Across the street are Molly's at the Market and Coop's Place.

Coops has free WIFI access for all and it reaches Molly's - would be iffy to Margaritaville. Coops has decent food.

 

After that perhaps Pat O'Briens - warning - if you get any of the specialty drinks they include the price of the glass with the drink. either turn the glass in for a refund or take your souvenoir with you.

If you can still talk after that, perhaps a hand grenade from Tropical Isle will make sure you don't remember anything the next day.

Don't blame me for the hangovers!

Thanks for the info.. We really arent looking for a NO atmosphere or type of restaurant.. we were wanting something to get us in the cruising mood and already plan on going to Margaritaville in MoBay... we wanted to visit the one in NO too..

It should work. You can also get your New Orleans Margaritaville Tshirts and other stuff to wear in Mobay if so inclined. Speaking of Mobay, be sure to find the lost shaker of salt of their website (if they still have), for the free margarita there.

 

NOLA Margaritaville often has live music of varying talents.

 

When you get off the ship in Mobay, around the tourist board booth, you can probably find some coupons for the Mobay one.

Thanks.. I did visit a few weeks ago and found the shaker and printed a few of them for a free margarita in Mo Bay.. Cant wait!!

At Margaritaville NO, make sure you go to the bar upstairs. Instead of barstools, they have swinging tires for seats at the bar. (It wasn't until my 3rd visit there that I even knew they had an upstairs bar.)

Must be too early in the morning - can't find the salt shaker - can you provide a hint??

Want to get in the mood??? In New Orleans you can walk down the street with a drink in your had 24 hours a day! Welcome to town because we are always in the party mode!

I like Margaritaville! :D I think their drinks are great (TONS of boat drinks, not just margaritas or tequila) and they come with a little boat or a compass floating in them. Sure to get you in the cruisin' mood.

 

Wow - never knew there was an upstairs bar! I will look for the tire swings if we make it by there in June!

The bar up stairs is great. besure and go on up. When we went there was a wedding and we joined in and had a great time.

Love the Cheeseburger in Paradise there and drinks are always good. If you get a chance....stop by & see Joe Bennet, performing in the downstairs bar. Times are listed on www.margaritaville.com Always a fun, friendly atmosphere and close to French Market were you can find some better prices than on Bourbon Street.

Just wanted to post.. we got back in March.. we did go to Margarittaville and had a great time!! we went upstairs.. Will definitely go back when in NO..

[cruzqueen518]

Waterbound, how was your cruise and what ship did you go on? Will you be posting a review on the ship?

We leave for NO in 80 days, I can't wait...

Margaritaville when in NOLA. I know it will be "touristy" but I kind of don't mind that once in awhile. We plan to get there for lunch one day and it's also to get us in to the "cruising frame of mind." Glad you had a good time, and I'm sure we will too.:)

We cruised in March.. I believe there should be a review on the carnival board.. we were on Conquest and had a great time.. it was my first balcony so I think Im spoiled now.. we got back and 3 weeks later went on Rhapsody of the Seas out of Galveston on Royal Caribbean because we got a great deal on a 7 day cruise and I can honestly say that I am hooked on Carnival.. We are booked on our 7th cruise for next year.. it will be the third time on Conquest.. We had cruised on Conquest before but brought our kids and my boyfriends mom this last time.. It was a family trip to remember!!
